I got it going late today and was dragging my butt as I didn’t sleep well. So, I started the day with a nap.
Bike Ride
Later in the day I rode up into the forest and stopped here at this water pool.
With the water pool, the grasses are growing nicely.
Fish
I looked in the water pool carefully to see if I could find any fish. There wasn’t any mosquito larva so I thought there should be some fish in there. I did finally see a couple of the little guys.
I rode around a bit and stopped here and trimmed some branches out of the road, so they wouldn’t hit me in the face as I rode by.
I stopped at our memorial spot for a bit.
There were some downed big redwood limbs there that needed to be cleaned up a bit, so I did move them out of the way.
Now I could ride on by. The big limbs were too big for me to move them very far.
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
